An innovative Activity-Based Workplace built on 3M ' s centenary history & cutting edge technology

Occupying about 20,000 square feet on an upper floor of the building, 3M's brand new office commands a stunning 270-degree view of Victoria Harbour and Lion Rock. The front section of the office consists of the reception, a mobile coworking and collaboration area, and a customer experience zone. This is where 3M’s employees and clients interact and unlock their creativity. The multi-function meeting room is fitted with movable glass partitions. The area can be used for holding closed meetings and training events, or expanded for large-scale open activities. The rear section of the office has an open design. Apart from workstations for employees with fixed seats, different styles of hot desks and focus booths are at the choice of employees. Amenities here include adjustable computer monitor arms, ergonomic chairs, sit-stand desks, stylish sound-absorbing ceiling panels and soundproof compartments of different sizes, which can ensure privacy and enable employees to focus on their work or meetings.
 

3M’s history and culture are ingeniously embodied in the new design, which also demonstrates the brand’s "3M Science. Applied to Life™" philosophy. The brand’s corporate triangle pattern and the orange, red and purple colours featuring the 3M Technology Platforms, are among the main design elements that can be seen everywhere in the new office. The lobby houses three walls that tell 3M’s legendary stories. The Logo Wall displays the company’s different logos over the past century. The History Wall exhibits 3M’s various breakthroughs, inventions and its corporate development since 1902. The Culture Wall states clearly 3M’s core corporate values, giving visitors a good understanding of the philosophy of this long-standing company.

To enable visitors and employees to experience the beauty of 3M’s innovative technology, the design team incorporated the company’s proprietary technologies and products in different parts of the office based on suggestions made by different departments. 3M™ Envision™ Print Wrap Films on the ceiling, for example, can minimise emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and formaldehyde and can be removed easily without leaving adhesive residue. This ingenious solution opened up new business opportunities for interior design and installation projects. The 3M™ Sun Control Film fitted on the movable glass screen can demonstrate the rejection of ultraviolet light and infrared light, thus reducing indoor heat, keeping down the electricity bill and saving energy without obstructing the view out there. The rock climbing wall and the swing chairs that can carry a maximum weight of 250 pounds, provide a leisure space for visitors and employees and also highlight the super strong bond strength of the 3M™ VHB™ Tape. The designer also used the 3M™ DI-NOC™ Film to create stylish decorative elements, illustrating the versatility of the film while instilling an artistic touch to the office.

In fact, one only has to look a little carefully to find that the office is brimming with 3M’s innovative products, all designed to make people’s daily life and working life easier and more pleasant.
